Hi, taking a look here

[drowsy valve]

Where ??

[frozen smelt]

It looks like you're using the create a File API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/files/create, can you share the request id where it's throwing the not able to recognize the file error?

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

[drowsy valve]

That is the code

[frozen smelt]

What is the request id?

[drowsy valve]

I don’t know what do you mean

[frozen smelt]

https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request - this talks about how you can the request id.

[drowsy valve]

This is the answer I get

[frozen smelt]

Can you share this req_ with. me from the screenshot please?

[drowsy valve]

This ??

[frozen smelt]

yes, can you copy and paste the req_ here?

[drowsy valve]

req_KdLfXX75VRQ6PP

[frozen smelt]

From looking at this request, it appears that you're trying to send a file with a filename that ended in .jpg or .jpeg but when we looked at the data inside the file it didn't appear to be JPEG image data. Where is the data in the buffer from on your code?

[drowsy valve]

This is the data from the image

[frozen smelt]

Where is data: <Buffer> coming from?

[drowsy valve]

I'm testing the route from postman, so what I do is to load the image in the form-data of postman

The problem is that I have already tried several images and they all give me the same problem.

[frozen smelt]

I think that is where the issue is, when you load the image to postman, it might be be affecting the file type.

Can you try it without using Postman to rule this out?

[drowsy valve]

How can I do it without trying postman ?

[frozen smelt]

You can create it here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/files/create

[drowsy valve]

OMG!! It worked! 🎉🎉

My code look like this now

And this is the response

But, I have a question

[drowsy valve]

The idea is that the user from an application made in Flutter can send the image to verify his account, if I send it from the client I will not have the same problem?

[frozen smelt]

It should not, as long as the file typeis not being altered in any way, that should work.

[drowsy valve]

So once I have connected the client to the back, should I remove the fs.readFileSync() and pass the req.files.front.data ?

[frozen smelt]

Yes, you'd want to test this and make sure that the file type is what you expect.

Okok, thank you 🙏🏻
